Think Slim!

Is it just me or does everyone want to think slim?

We have had a hypno-therapist in the studio this morning.

Mark Stephens has written a book called think slim – it’s not about shakes or starvation or pills – it’s about changing the way you think about food.

I lost a fair bit of weight last year, via a reality tv show 'Overhaul' on channel 9. I lost about 13 kilos in all – needed to lose another 8 probably. Instead, surprise surprise, I have managed to find a couple of the ones I lost. I find it very hard not to eat.

Last night at netball my friend Cath said, "I’ve been really hungry today" I said, "What do you mean today?" My whole life seems to revolve around convincing myself NOT TO EAT!

I have another friend who claims sometimes she looks up and it’s three o’clock and she has to make herself go and eat something – she’s constantly forgetting about food.

If I were EVER prevented from eating until three in the afternoon (because I’d trapped by a gunman in a ten hour siege – in a house without a kitchen) I would no doubt immediately reward myself with a slab of lasagne. Mmmm Lasagne.

But not anymore! Through the power of suggestion, Mr 'Think Slim' Mark Stevens has stuck a couple of mantras in my head – 'the more you drink the more you shrink' 'In between meals I drink water or tea…in between meals I remain snack free…'

Along with Lisa, Kaye, Pauline and Dennis, four listeners who agreed to be hypnotised with me, I am hoping to turn my food fetish around.

Being hypnotised was weird – I felt completely conscious. Mark Stephens made me as stiff as a board, my head was on one chair and my feet were on the other with nothing to support me in between. I thought I was under for a couple of minutes – it was more like ten – and as soon as I woke up I felt really thirsty.

I had a cup of coffee on the desk and I couldn’t finish it – I went and made a herbal tea and got a big water.

So you never know…

The shots of me under hypnosis are going on the station website – www.theradio.com.au -we’ve taken photos of our hypnotised listeners…and we’ll follow up in a month to see if anyone has managed to lose weight…

If you want to find out more, Mark Stephens will hold a free seminar at Caloundra RSL tonight at 6. Or try www.thinkslim.com.au
